I just wanted to let your staff know that I passed both parts of the builders exam this past Thursday. The prelicensure course was awesome and full of an awful lot of extra information that I’m sure will help me get off to a good start.

Ron Scholl from Michigan

I just want you to know what a Godsend you were yesterday! Oh, by the way, I PASSED!!!! Thanks for the research and I am so glad to have passed the first time! If it wasn’t for you and everyone on your side, I would have been in a hard place. The pre-test and the format were great, the whole math tutorial was SO informative and it just made great sense. Thank you for all you did and I will definitely tell others how great you are.
